RE: Extension of Abatement Due Dates, NOV C-95-017, Trapper Mine,
Permit No. C-81-010, Trapper Mining, Inc.
Trapper Mine has requested an extension for each of the two abatement step deadlines
for NOV C-95-017. It is only the deadline extension for the second abatement step
which would require a greater than 90 day abatement time, namely, 154 days.
This NOV was issued as a result of a 2.5 acre slide that had occurred in a reclaimed
section of the mine. The first abatement step was to submit a technical revision by
July 11, 1995, detailing a remediation plan based on field and laboratory studies of the
slide. The second abatement step was to implement the remediation plan outlined in
Step No. 1 by August 28, 1995.
However, due to very wet ground conditions, Trapper believes that they will have to
wait until mid or late July to start field sampling operations. They are requesting that
abatement step 1 be extended from July 11 to August 28. This appears to be a
reasonable request. The ground is very wet and bringing in heavy equipment to dig test
pits would probably tear up the ground and, perhaps, pose safety problems. After the
field data is obtained, laboratory analyses would be required, followed by the design,
submittal, and approval of the remediation plan.
Because August 28 is the 90th day, the step 2 abatement deadline would need to be
extended beyond the 90th day. Trapper has requested that the step 2 abatement
deadline be extended to October 31 or to at least 30 days past the approval of the
technical revision, whichever is later. The Division believes that an extension to
October 31 is acceptable. Any later and winter conditions may become a problem.
Abatement steps of greater than 90 days due to climatic conditions are allowed under
Rule 5.03.2(2)(c)(iv).
